Earlier this month, a man entered the Wisconsin Capitol twice while possessing firearm and demanded to speak to Gov. Tony Evers. Joshua Pleasnick has been released on signature bond.
A man accused of bringing guns to the Wisconsin state Capitol building and demanding to see Gov. Tony Evers can go free on a signature bond but can't come near the governor or his family until his case is resolved, a court commissioner ordered Thursday. Joshua Pleasnick, 43, of Madison, made his initial court appearance Thursday morning on a misdemeanor charge of openly carrying a gun in a public building.
The court commissioner also banned Pleasnick from being on the road in front of the governor's mansion in Maple Bluff, a Madison suburb, and forbid him from coming within 1,000 feet of Evers or any members of Evers' family. Pleasnick entered the Capitol on Oct. 4 without a shirt, guiding a dog on a leash and carrying a holstered handgun, according to prosecutors. He demanded to speak to Evers and was arrested. The governor was not in the building at the time.
Covey, Pleasnick's attorney, said during the telephone interview that the relatively lenient bail shows the court commissioner doesn't believe Pleasnick is a threat. Covey stressed again that Pleasnick had no intention of using his guns. He said there was reason for the no-contact order with Evers and his family but he can understand why it was put in place. 'He had no intent to harm anyone, much less the governor,' Covey said.
